Connecting New Turbo Oil Feed Line

[l_uk3y]

Hey guys.

Silly question but i better double check. Just about ready to throw my new Hypergear turbo on. Just getting the space ready before i do.

It comes with a braided Oil line. Now banjo fitting on turbo side (easy enough), On the engine side it is a 2 piece setup. Male thread which screws into the stock location on the engine. Then it has a threaded compression type end which screws into the female thread on the braided line. It Screws in quite easily to the engine. Now i am trying to work out what i can use to ensure theres no oil leakages. Whether a copper washer connecting to the engine would be sufficient and whether i would need anything to seal the fitting to the braided line.

If this make no sense at all I can get pictures up tomorrow. Last thing stopping me from getting the turbo onto the manifold.

Cheers for any help.

all you need is the copper washers as they were with the factory turbo

Hey mate I think it might be a copper washer.

What hypergear turbo did you get?

Reason asking is I just picked up mine today from Stao. Its the atr43g3 .82. Mine won't be installed and tuned untill first week of Jan. So let us know how you go.

ATR43i - G3 0.63 housing.

Cheers. I'll stick with just the copper washer. And just keep an eye on it for the start to make sure she seals.

It'll be a fair while before i will be able to post real results. I'm doing a bit of cosmetic work under the bonnet whilst its all out which im in no major hurry for, and with both cars insurance and rego due shortly, I wont be able to afford to get tuned for a while.

Hey mate,

Just to let you know i got a ATR28 from stao for an RB20.

The stock coolant lines wont fit.... if fact they hit on the turbo so i had to get some braided ones made up.

Didnt know until i tried to get it to fit...

Cheers
